droid style springboard?

**motorhead302** · 12-25-2009, 04:59 PM

hi there.
i'm new to the whole iphone thing, i've jailbroken my phone and changed a lot of stuff, but i've seen a couple of shots of iphone's with a springboard similar to the droid home page, where there is a button at the bottom which reveals an app icon menu, thereby leaving your springboard relatively free of clutter.

however, i've been unable to find anything like this while searching around on the site and looking on cydia.

is this still possible? is it difficult/programmer level stuff?
i would love to do something like this. if anyone has any info, i'd be very grateful.

That looks awesome, but I don't necessarily want to make mine look like a droid, I just want to be able to access my apps that way.

U can't do that

oh i think you want the "Stack" app from cydia! try it out.

**motorhead302** · 12-26-2009, 05:43 PM

lol "almost" what you wanted? maybe we can help finish it off?

**motorhead302** · 12-27-2009, 03:08 PM

by almost i meant the whole experience almost exactly what i wanted. the stack is just about perfect, now it's just a matter of finding the perfect wallpaper etc.
i did see a vid from a british fellow recently who had an animated wallpaper of a city skyline at night. the headlights and taillights in the foreground were animated as if in time lapse. it was awesome. anyone know where i could score something like that?

and thanks, everyone, for the help so far and the offer for more!

i believe it's called "animated wall" or something like that in cydia. Not sure how it works though, you might wanna contact someone more experienced than me.

Vwallpaper

**motorhead302** · 12-28-2009, 05:30 PM

crap. i installed vwallpaper, and chose one, and searched for some new repos for it. when i tried to add a repo, it sat forever, and then went back to the springboard. every time i try to run vwallpaper again to make changes, it shows the startup screen for a few seconds then returns to the springboard. i uninstalled it via cydia, and it's still showing the matrix wallpaper i had running.
after reinstalling a couple of tries, it still won't start up, just shows the start screen then shuts off.
help?

No cydia is having probelms fir everyone today here's it is
Dec. 28 Cydia Crashing Problem. DO NOT Restore Your Device FIX Inside!

**motorhead302** · 12-28-2009, 05:49 PM

no no cydia worked fine, and the program ran, but then the actual vwallpaper program failed. now i can't get it to run again so i can make changes.
unless you think there was a problem with the install due to cydia's problems?
but it ran fine the first time, until i tried to add a source into the actual vwallpaper program.
do you think i should restore and try again?
